Summary
Abstract: An Optical Plankton Counter (OPC) was attached to the OSU SeaSoar system and towed along standard sections in the coastal region from Newport, Oregon to Crescent, California. These sections were occupied twice in 2000 and 2002. Not all sections were surveyed equality in time and space.

The OPC provided counts and size estimates of zooplankton sized particles ... View entire text
